Why Dentistry

Why Dentistry

Dental health refers to every aspect of the health and functioning of the mouth, especially the teeth and gums. Good oral hygiene can help prevent an array of more serious health problems from occurring in the future as diseases can give their first warning signs in the form of oral problems. Brushing twice a day and flossing regularly are vital practices, however visiting a dentist regularly is equally-if not more- important for the prevention and early detection of oral problems.

Your First Visit, How Does It Work?

Your first visit to our office will begin with a short conversation with your doctor, at which time your background information will be collected, medical and dental histories will be reviewed and your oral health evaluated. If you have brought copies of your dental x-rays from a previous dentist, they will be reviewed; otherwise new digital x-rays will be taken.

In addition to revealing any problems that were not visible during the clinical exam these initial x-rays will also provide Dr. Buono with a benchmark with which to compare against during your future visits.

An added advantage of modern equipment is your dentist’s ability to see your x-ray results on the computer, immediately. That will speed up the diagnosis process. Often, simpler procedures can be done in that first visit. Your other dental issues will be dealt with during subsequent visits, which you should schedule before you leave the office.
